He had asked Swain to hurry back to the training facility and find Yohannes, but Swain had yet to return.

Maverick knew his own body, and he probably wouldn’t be able to hold on until Gwendolyn came home from dinner.

Charles was right. In the end, Gwendolyn saw Maverick as nothing more than a pet.
